Stats: Bowlers with most dismissals as 'hit wicket' in Tests

Kapil Dev

Here is a list of bowlers who have the most number of dismissals as ‘hit wicket’ in Tests. You don’t often see batsmen getting dismissed hit wicket; it only happens when a player loses his balance or concentration. 

Australia’s Graham Mckenzie, who has played 60 Tests for Australia and taken 246 wickets, should consider himself fortunate to have 4 such dismissals credited to his name. India has two entries in the list: Vinoo Mankad and Kapil Dev, with 3 each. 

Player Country Matches Wickets Hit Wickets
Graham McKenzie  Australia 60 246 4
Hedley Verity England 40 144 3
Ray Lindwall Australia 61 228 3
Vinoo Mankad India 44 162 3
Fred Trueman England 67 307 3
Kapil Dev 
India 131 434 3
